Denis Menke: 1968 Team MVP
1971 Topps # 130

With apologies to the incredible Bill Spiers, Denis Menke may have been the most versatile player in team history. While starting on Opening Day three times, and putting together two All-Star seasons, Menke also played all four infield positions at some point during the season three times:
    --In 1968, Menke, while putting in some time at first, short, and third, played 119 games at second.
    --In 1970, while playing additionally at first, short, and third, he played 133 games at short.
    --And in 1971, he did the hundred-game thing at first, while getting in some games at each of the other three infield slots.
In fact, Menke played as many as six positions in 1970, missing only catcher and center field. And while both Spiers (in 1997) and Jose Vizcaino (in 2002) managed to hit .300 while playing all four infield positions, as Menke did in 1970, Menke's RBI and runs scored totals that year dwarf what Spiers and Vizcaino were able to do: Menke's 1970 season is the only time in team history a player has fielded all four infield spots, hit .300, scored 80, and drove in 90. Joe Morgan was actually named team MVP that year, but he hit 36 points lower than Menke and drove in 40 fewer; Menke should have notched his second team MVP award that year.
He had won the award in 1968, when despite hitting only .249 in his first year after coming over from the Braves, his teammates noticed the job he was doing filling in for the injured Joe Morgan, and I guess his 23 doubles and team-leading six triples.
